Episode 227 – Heart-Pounding Company♥

The sun hangs on the ridge, driving away the darkness.

The village in the prairie, filled with faint light, was as quiet as if last night’s frenzied festival had never happened.

In front of the village filled with soft dawn light, the chieftain, wearing clothes that covered even the lower half of a horse, stood before Grace and the others.

“Are you sure it’s okay for you to come with us?”

Even though I had suggested it, Ian seemed worried about her.

The chieftain… no, the centaur woman, no longer a chieftain, nodded and replied with a smile that seemed relieved.

“Yes, peace has long since come to this prairie anyway. And… since I’m no longer the chieftain, can you give me a name?”

“Huh? You didn’t have a name?”

“No, the moment you become chieftain, your past name doesn’t matter.”

“…. I see. Then…”

Ian looked at the chieftain’s fiery hair and blurted out reflexively.

“Scarlett, how about Scarlett?”

“Scarlett… Hehehe, I like it? Please take good care of me from now on.”

“Yes, hahaha, please take good care of me.”

Meanwhile, Grace smiled at the sight and stroked the mane of the black horse she was riding, asking Scarlett.

“But is it okay to take this horse?”

“Ah… it doesn’t really matter. We originally released them back into the prairie after the festival. Even if it’s gone, we can just bring another horse.”

Grace nodded as if she understood, gently stroking the black horse’s neck and whispering.

“Ah~ Hehe, let’s get along, shall we?”

“Hihihing~~”

The black horse, enjoying Grace’s touch, cried out as if in response.

Cecilia was a little unhappy that a new woman had been added.

‘Haa… it’s because of the Prince-nim’s charm… well, nothing I can do about it.’

Even while grumbling, she accepted Scarlett, and Niel decided to join their journey, saying it would be fun.

Anyway, with one more horse added, making the numbers more comfortable, they divided up the chieftain’s, no, Scarlett’s, luggage.

After that, they left Scarlett’s hometown behind them and set off again towards the Orc’s Holy Land.

When Scarlett arrived near the hill, she turned her head and took one last look at her hometown.

The tents huddled together, the refreshing breeze passing by, her hometown with her own, albeit violent, but affectionate, people, she kept looking at it.

She felt someone approaching her and turned her head.

Green eyes looking at her as if worried, blonde hair fluttering in the wind blowing from her hometown, Scarlett just stared blankly.

The place where I should be now, the person who will now… be the path of my life.

“Are you okay?”

A kind voice tickles Scarlett’s ears like the wind.

‘Now… this wind is the wind of my hometown… it’s strange… I don’t hate it at all.’

Scarlett shook her head with a faint smile.

“Yes, I’m fine.”

She moved forward, leaving the past behind. But she wasn’t lonely.

Because there was someone walking the path with her.

* * *

The road to the Orc’s Holy Land was more arduous than imagined.

Thinking about it, it was a natural result. It was like moving from the Far East to the Far West.

And when going on a very long journey, it’s natural to set up camp with just the group in the middle and sleep.

At the end of a long journey, Grace and the others were on their way to the city, the first gateway to the Orc’s Holy Land, when the day was getting dark, so they put down their luggage in a suitable open space and prepared to camp out again today.

The group lit a fire, and as they went down, the weather became warmer, so they spread blankets around the campfire instead of tents.

Their peace, as they chatted amiably and shared the soup they had made for dinner, disappeared as the bushes rustled.

Beuseureok beuseureok beuseureok

The moment they heard the sound, they sharpened their eyes and took out their respective weapons, guarding the place where the sound came from.

Ah, Sui was startled and hid behind Grace, the strongest, like a rabbit looking for a burrow.

The rustling sound continued, and as the tension rose, finally a human figure emerged from the darkness.

The person revealed under the light of the crackling campfire was a handsome, blonde male mercenary.

Raising both hands, he gave an awkward smile at the sharp atmosphere and said.

“Um, can I borrow some fire…?”

Grace narrowed her eyes while holding the handle of a greatsword taller than her.

“I don’t think you’re alone?”

“Ah…! I… I told them to stay behind because I thought it would be threatening, I’m sorry. Hey, just come out.”

The blonde man answered with an embarrassed smile, then whispered, looking behind him, and several figures emerged from the darkness beyond the bushes.

A huge bald man with a large height, a skinny and short man who looked like a goblin, a handsome man with blue hair, a swaggering muscular man.

Five male mercenaries appeared, and the blonde man said politely with a friendly smile.

“It wasn’t intentional at all. If it’s okay with you, can we join you?”

“What should we do?”

Grace looked back at Ian and asked, and Ian began to calmly examine the men’s faces.

And… Ian could see the lecherous lust lurking in their eyes.

Feeling an excitement that made his dick twitch, Ian nodded with a face that knew nothing, hiding his swelling anticipation.

“I think it’ll be okay. It’ll be hard to find a place to sleep elsewhere tonight.”

When Ian gave permission, the women relaxed.

Ian smiled and said to them in a kind tone.

“Come on, sit down and rest. Ah, you can even share the soup we made.”

“Ah, thank you so much. You’re so kind. Then, excuse us.”

Ian’s women all moved to Ian’s side, and the five mercenaries across from them bowed their heads in gratitude and took their seats.

They took the soup from the pot in the center and began to eat it in an instant, as if they were very hungry.

Ian saw that the amount of luggage they were carrying on their backs was small and asked with a soft smile.

“It seems like you’re mercenaries… May I ask where your destination is? Ah, I was rude. I should reveal our destination first, right? We were going to a city called Kastera near here.”

“Umul umul gulp… Ah, I’m sorry. Ahem, we were actually going to Kastera too.”

“Ah, then this is fate, how about we go there together?”

“…. Together?”

“Yes, let’s go together. We can chat along the way.”

The blonde man hesitated for a moment at the suggestion of going together and looked at the women, and soon he swallowed hard, looking at the women’s voluptuous bodies and beautiful faces that seemed to shine even in the darkness.

The men, who were busily turning their eyes and leering at the women even while eating the soup, each swallowed hard, wondering what they were thinking at the suggestion of going together.

At that moment, the huge man next to the blonde man nudged him with his elbow, and the blonde man, perhaps because of the light of the campfire, nodded with a slightly reddened face.

“We, we’d be grateful.”

“Hahaha, that’s a relief. Let’s prepare the meals together. How about the night watch being done by the gentlemen over there and the ladies over here?”

“Yes, yes, I’m fine with that. But… if one person is missing…”

“I’ll stand the first night watch alone.”

“….. Gulp! Ah, thank you. Then… ahem, from today…”

“Yes, let’s do that from today.”

The women next to Ian looked at each other and smiled when they heard Ian’s decision.

Because Ian’s intentions were so obvious.

Ian’s women, who were already starving for dick, each looked at the men on the other side with a seductive smile.

The men, also hungry for lust, were stealing glances at the women they liked.

And the men felt their lower bodies twitch as they saw the women smiling and looking at them, and they smiled too.

It was a disgusting male smile, but the women didn’t say anything because they welcomed the blatant desire-filled smile.

“Ah! I’m sorry. I was so distracted that I didn’t even introduce myself. Nice to meet you. My name is Astel. I’m in charge of leading this mercenary party, though I’m not very good at it.”

The blonde man, Astel, who spoke as if he had forgotten, said with a friendly smile.

“I’m Kadon.”

The man with a large build and muscles, close to 2 meters tall, answered briefly, just like his heavy impression, and following him, the handsome man with blue hair neatly swept back, with a greasy smile on his lips, said.

“I’m Narcis. It’s the luckiest moment of my life to be joining such beautiful women. Hehehe”

“Call me Aram! My name will soon be so famous that it will spread throughout the empire, so treat me well now! Kahahaha!”

Aram, with a punk-like impression with his short-cut hair sticking up, shouted, and then the sinister-looking, skinny man answered.

“Hihhihihi, you say you’ll be successful, but you look like you’re about to die…”

“What, you bastard?!”

The skinny man ignored Aram, who was angry with veins popping out on his forehead, and answered.

“I’m Gazran. Hwihhihi, to be traveling with such wonderful women… I’m curious about your relationship, hihhihi.”

“Is this bastard ignoring me!!”

The other men just shook their heads as if the two men’s fight wasn’t a one-time thing, and Aram grumbled and sat back down, ignoring Gazran, who wasn’t paying attention to him.

“Hahaha, you guys are funny. First of all… that’s right. They are all my precious wives and companions.”

The women, except for Niel, blushed and were embarrassed at Ian’s words, and Ian smiled as he looked at his wives, then turned his head and looked at Astel, introducing himself.

“And my name is Ian. Nice to meet you.”

“I’m Grace. I’m sorry for being sharp earlier.”

“Ah, it’s okay. It’s natural for anyone to be wary.”

Grace apologized, closing her eyes with a seductive look and bowing her head, and Astel waved his hands, raising the corners of his mouth as if they were about to tear.

“Thank you for understanding. Hehehe”

Grace smiled, curving her eyes at Astel’s appearance, and Astel, unknowingly captivated by her beauty, stared blankly before feeling the gazes around him and said with a flushed face.

“Ah, no, thank you.”

“Kikkikkik, you dumbass.”

“Ahem…”

Astel coughed, realizing his disgraceful behavior, as Gazran said, giggling as if it were funny.

Following him, Cecilia said with a slightly sulky face.

“I’m Cecilia.”

Honestly, Cecilia was also horny, but it was possible because she wouldn’t spread her pussy to a man she didn’t know at all.

And Narcis looked at Cecilia with a greasy look.

Cecilia also noticed his gaze and glanced at him.

‘…. He’s handsome…’

She certainly had a great appearance, but Cecilia, thinking that she couldn’t compare to Ian, tried to ignore her quivering uterus♥ 큥♥ at the sight of the handsome man.

“I’m Sui~! Nice to meet you!!”

Following Sui’s energetic greeting, Niel, who wasn’t very interested in anyone except for other races, said with a languid look.

“I’m Niel…”

Finally, Scarlett answered.

“Please call me Scarlett.”

Kadon looked at Scarlett, who was a centaur, and said as if amazed.

“For a centaur to come all the way here…”

Scarlett glared at Ian and answered with a smile.

“Well, I wanted to follow the person I love.”

Ian was embarrassed by her answer, and the men on the other side felt a surge of jealousy at the sight of Ian receiving the love of all the women, but they held it back.

And at the same time, they made one resolution.

‘I must… fuck them.’

They began to heat up their lower bodies as they looked at the women they were aiming for, and the first night of their lewd company was coming to an end.
